The Mermaid is our latest speaker design, made with the idea that audio gear can be more than just ok to look at...

The Mermaid is a floorstanding sattelite speaker, meaning that a pair of Mermaids is intended to be used with either one or two subwoofers that will fill in the bass notes. If two subwoofers are used, they would be dedicated to the right and left stereo channels.

Because the Mermaids use a crossover-less, single driver design, their sound is immediate and extremely precise. The Audience drivers are amazingly fast, and because of their design, provide a "punch" that is unmatched for their size. The soundstage of these speakers is broad and deep, and they image beautifully. With a decent recording, one is able to pinpoint the location of musicians in their recorded positions. For instance, a single singer's voice might be heard emerging from a spot 3 or 4 feet high, and several feet behind the speakers, and multiple musicians can be "located" in in spatial terms relative to each other. Also, these drivers do not lose their precision with volume. In fact, they continue to sound organic, precise and dynamic up to unsafe volume levels (not that you should go there!). So, they sound really good with all sorts of music, not just chamber music! As all good speakers should do, the Mermaids "disappear" as the source of sound, creating a highly-realistic stereo image.

Mermaids are a custom order, and because they are time-consuming to make, take 4-6 weeks for delivery.
